10th Circ. Lets Order Stand In Cooper Tire Crash Case

Law360, New York (June 12, 2009, 12:00 AM EDT) -- A federal appeals court has declined to order a lower court to reverse a discovery order in a product liability case against Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. stemming from a September 2005 Utah highway crash that killed nine people and injured two more.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit on Tuesday declined to issue a writ of mandamus vacating a ruling that orders the tire maker to produce documents related to the manufacture and design of the tires at issue.
